Message To Shareholders
Message to Shareholders,
STRONG FINISH AFTER A WEAK START
The past year revealed a strong growth in core domestic
overnight revenues and adhoc air cargo charter revenues,
particularly in the last half of the year. The enhancement and
expansion of our domestic network in Eastern Canada that
began in July, has resulted in better than expected volume and
revenue growth that continues into this year.
Cargojet continues to position itself as a dominant global air
cargo charter operator and we experienced significant growth
in this sector in 2012 by utilizing aircraft assets during
traditional down-time in the day and on weekends. Cargojet
is able to compete effectively in this market with our lower
cost base.
The strong revenue finish to the year when combined with
the continued aggressive cost management programs has
resulted in improved overall financial performance for the year.
Consistent operational performance and safety continue to be
the priority and Cargojet achieved over 98% on-time arrival
within fifteen minutes of scheduled arrival time on almost 7,000
flight legs operated during the year.
We will continue to manage our costs and seek out new
revenue opportunities and our consistent cash flows will
continue to provide value to shareholders through our
consistent dividend policy. Excess cash will be primarily used
to pay down debt, increase dividends when warranted and to
strengthen our overall balance sheet.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
A strong finish to the year resulted in total revenues of
$168.8 million, an increase of $3.3 million over the previous
year. Combined with lower operating costs resulted in
EBITDA of $16.9 million an increase of 11.2% over the
previous year. Prudent cost management and operating
efficiencies continue to contribute to improved operating
yields and cash flows.
OUTLOOK
Although we remain cautious and somewhat uncertain about
the continued speed of economic recovery, we are optimistic
about the opportunities for Cargojet in 2013.
We have positioned ourselves strategically to take advantage
of new revenue growth opportunities when and where they
occur. Cargojet continues to manage its capacity including
aircraft fleet requirements in a prudent and cost-effective
manner and will deploy the necessary assets as necessary.
CARGOJET TEAM
Cargojet is committed to providing a safe and secure and
highly reliable level of service to our Customers at all
times. We cannot do this without the dedication, loyalty and
commitment of every single member of the Cargojet team.
The Board of Directors of Cargojet Inc. determines dividend
policy and any future dividend payments will be determined by
the Board in accordance with the companyʼs financial results
and cash requirements.
In conclusion and on behalf of the Board of Directors, I would
like to thank our Customers for their on-going loyalty and
support; our Shareholders for their confidence in our business;
and every member of the Cargojet Team for their dedication,
hard work and support.

CRITICAL ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity withIFRS requires management to make estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of assetsand liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets andliabilities at the date of the financial statements andreported amounts of revenue and expenses during thereporting period. Actual results could differ from thoseestimates. The significant items requiring the use ofmanagement estimates are the valuation of financialinstruments, the impairment assessment of property, plantand equipment and goodwill, the accounting for deferredtaxes, and the estimate of provisions. The table belowdiscloses the methodology used by management in theassessment of these accounting estimates.
CRITICAL ESTIMATES (CONTINUED)
P28
CARGOJET 2012 Annual Repor t
Critical Accounting Estimate Methodology, Assumptions
Financial instruments The issuance or repurchase of a compound instrument, such as convertibledebentures, requires the Company to estimate the debt and equity componentsof the instruments issued or repurchased. Estimates are also required for determining the fair values of financial instruments that are not publicly traded for disclosure purposes.
Impairment of property, plant and At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts equipment and goodwill of its property, plant and equipment and goodwill to determine whether there is
any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any suchindication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order todetermine the extent of the impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimatethe recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates therecoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to theirpresent value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be lessthan its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Deferred taxes Deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that therewill be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of thetemporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable
future. The Company reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at theend of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of theasset to be recovered
Provisions The Company has estimated that it will incur certain maintenance costs at theend of the lease terms and has recorded a maintenance provision liability forthese costs. Such costs have been estimated based on contractual commitmentsand Company specific history. The Company reviews the provisions at eachreporting period to determine the change in estimated liability.

CARGOJET 2012 Annual Repor tACCOUNTING CHANGES
ACCOUNTING STANDARDSEFFECTIVE FOR 2012
IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IAS 12,Income Taxes were amended to address disclosures withrespect to the transfer of financial assets and the recoveryof revalued investment properties, respectively. Theseamendments, which were effective January 1, 2012, hadno impact on the Company's financial statements.
A number of new standards, amendments to standardsand interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year ending December 31, 2012,and accordingly, have not been applied in preparing thesefinancial statements:
Presentation of Financial Statements
The IASB amended IAS 1, Presentation of FinancialStatements (“IAS 1”), providing guidance on itemscontained in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and theirclassification within OCI. The amendments to IAS 1 mustbe applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impacton the Company's disclosures.
Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2009 - 2011 Cycle
The Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2009 - 2011 Cycleinclude a number of amendments to various IFRSs that areeffective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statementsclarify the requirements for providing comparative information in financial statements. Amendments reduce the amount of information from previous reporting periodswhich is required to be repeated in the event of a changein accounting policy, reclassification or restatement by limiting the requirement to present an additional statementof financial position to circumstances when the statementis materially affected and by clarifying that related notes to an additional statement of financial position are notrequired.
IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment was amended to clarify the classification requirement for servicingequipment. If spare parts and servicing equipment meetthe definition of property, plant and equipment, they shouldbe accounted for as such rather than a current asset.
IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting was amended toclarify the requirements on segment information for totalassets and liabilities for each reportable segment.
The Company does not expect the adoption of theseamendments to have a significant impact on theCompanyʼs disclosures.
Employee Benefits
The primary amendment to IAS 19, Employee Benefits, isthe elimination of the corridor approach, with a requirementthat all changes to the defined benefit obligation andplanned assets to be recognized when they occur. Thestandard also does not permit the use of an assumedexpected rate of return which differs from the rate used todiscount plan liabilities and changes the presentation fordefined benefit plans.
This standard is applicable for periods commencingJanuary 1, 2013. Retrospective application is required withcertain exceptions. The Company does not expect theadoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position and disclosures.
Fair Value Measurement
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”) is a newstandard that defines fair value, sets out in a single IFRS,a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13does not determine when an asset, a liability or an entityʼsown equity instrument is measured at fair value. Rather,the measurement and disclosure requirements of IFRS 13apply when another IFRS requires or permits the item to be measured at fair value (with limited exceptions). Thestandard is applicable commencing January 1, 2013.
Consolidation, Joint Arrangements, Associates and Disclosures
A package of five standards addressing consolidation, jointarrangements, associates and disclosures are effective forperiods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

CARGOJET 2012 Annual Repor tFINANCIAL CONDITION(CONTINUED)
STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONSISSUED NOT YET ADOPTED(CONTINUED
IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”)builds on existing principles by identifying the concept ofcontrol as the determining factor in whether an entityshould be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard providesadditional guidance to assist in the determination of controlwhere this is difficult to assess.
IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements establishes principles thatare applicable to the accounting for all joint arrangements.
IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities providesguidance on disclosure requirements for all forms ofinterests in other entities, including subsidiaries, jointarrangements, associates and unconsolidated structuredentities.
The Company does not expect the implementation of thesestandards to have a significant impact on the Companyʼsresults of operations, financial position and disclosures.
Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities andRelated Disclosures
Amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments:Disclosures and IAS 32, Financial Instruments:Presentation, applicable for periods commencing on orafter January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2014, respectively,require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements and clarify existing application issues relating to the offset of financial assetsand financial liabilities requirements. The Company doesnot expect the adoption of these standards to have a significant impact on the Companyʼs disclosures.
Financial Instruments
The IASB has issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”),which will ultimately replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments:Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 introducesnew requirements for the classification and measurementof financial assets and liabilities and for de-recognition.
The replacement of IAS 39 is a multi-phase project with the objective of improving and simplifying the reporting for financial instruments and the issuance of IFRS 9 is part of the first phase. This standard becomes effective on January 1, 2015. The Company has yet to assess theimpact of the new standard on its results of operations,financial position and disclosures.

This is accomplished through the establishment of systems that identify and communicaterelevant information to persons responsible for preparingpublic disclosure items, in accordance with the DisclosurePolicy adopted jointly by the Directors of the Company.
Internal controls over financial reporting are designed toprovide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability ofthe Companyʼs financial reporting and its preparation offinancial statements for external purposes in accordancewith IFRS.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companyʼs disclosure controls and procedures and internal controlsover financial reporting, as defined under the rules of theCanadian Securities Administrators, was conducted atDecember 31, 2012 by management. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the ChiefFinancial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financialreporting of the Company are effective.

END NOTES
(A) All references to “EBITDA” in the ManagementʼsDiscussion and Analysis exclude some or all of the following: “depreciation, interest on long-term debt,future income tax recovery, provision for currentincome taxes, non-controlling interest, gain or loss ondisposal of capital assets and amortization of aircraftheavy maintenance expenditures”. EBITDA is a termused by the Company that does not have a standard-ized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is thereforeunlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. EBITDA is a measure of theCompanyʼs operating profitability and by definition,excludes certain items as detailed above. These itemsare viewed by management as non-cash (in the caseof depreciation, gain or loss on disposal of capitalassets, amortization of aircraft heavy maintenance
expenditures and future income tax recovery), or nonoperating (in the case of interest on long-term debt, provision for current income taxes and non-controlling interest). The underlying reasons for exclusion of each item are as follows:
Depreciation - as a non-cash item, depreciation has no impact on the determination of EBITDA.
Interest on long-term debt - interest on long-term debt is a function of the Companyʼs treasury/financing activities and represents a different class of expense than those included in EBITDA.
Deferred income tax - the calculation of deferred income tax is a function of temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of balance sheet items for calculating tax expense and is separate from the daily operations of the Company.
Provision for current income taxes - the provision for current income taxes is a non-operating item and represents a different class of expense than those included in EBITDA.
Gain or loss on disposal of property, plant & equipment - the gain or loss arising from the disposal of property, plant & equipment is a non-cash item and has no impact on the determination of EBITDA.
Gain or loss on disposal of intangible assets - the gain or loss arising from the disposal of intangible assets is a non-cash item and has no impact on the determination of EBITDA.
Gain or loss on repurchases of debentures - the gain or loss arising from repurchase of debentures is a non-cash item and has no impact on the determination of EBITDA.
Aircraft heavy maintenance depreciation - aircraft heavy maintenance depreciation represents anon-cash item and is excluded from EBITDA.
Amortization of maintenance deposits - amortization of non-refundable maintenance deposits paid to lessors that exceeds the estimated amounts recoverable represents a non-cash item and is excluded from EBITDA.

CARGOJET 2012 Annual Repor tEND NOTES (CONTINUED)
(B) Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a term, which does nothave a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other Companies. The objective ofpresenting this non-IFRS measure is to calculate theamount, which is available for dividend distributions to shareholders. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cashneeds and should not be considered an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. All references in the Managementʼs Discussion and Analysis to“Adjusted Free Cash Flow” have the meaning set outin this note.
In November 2010, the Canadian Institute ofChartered Accounts (“CICA”) issued a consultationguidance titled Reporting Supplementary FinancialMeasures, General Principles (The Guidance). TheGuidance approved the continuation of previously published guidance on EBITDA and free cash flow as they continue to be relevant in the post IFRS environment.
Standardized Free Cash Flow is defined as “Cashflows from operating activities as reported in the IFRSfinancial statements, including operating cash flowsprovided from or used in discontinued operations; total capital expenditures minus proceeds from the disposition of capital assets other than those of discontinued operations, as reported in the IFRSfinancial statements; and dividends, when stipulated,unless deducted in arriving at cash flows from operating activities.”
The Company has adopted a measurement calledAdjusted Free Cash Flow to supplement net earningsas a measure of operating performance. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined by the Company asStandardized Free Cash Flow as defined by the CICA,less operating cash flows provided from or used in discontinued operations, changes in working capital,plus provision or recovery of current income taxes.
The underlying reasons for the inclusion and exclusionof each item are as follows:
Operating cash flows provided from or used in discontinued operations - As the operating cashflows provided from or used in discontinued operationsare not expected to recur in the future, it has beenexcluded from the calculation of Adjusted Free CashFlow to enhance the predictive value of the measure.
Changes in working capital - Changes in non-cashworking capital items and deposits represents timingdifferences in the Companyʼs working capital from year to year. These items are expected to be recoverable or payable shortly from the balance sheetdate. Since it only represents short-term timing differences, it should be excluded from standardizedfree cash flow to determine a more representativemeasure of cash that is available for dividend distributions.
Provision for current income taxes - The expectedcash outflows from the provision of current income taxis deducted to determine cash that is available for dividend distributions as it has priority over distribution.

IndependentAuditor’s Report
P35
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Cargojet Inc. as at December 31, 2012 and
December 31, 2011, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years
then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
Cargojet Inc. (“Cargojet” or “the Company”) operates a domestic overnight air cargo co-load network between thirteenmajor Canadian cities. The Company also provides dedicated aircraft to customers on an Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance (“ACMI”) basis, operating between points in Canada and the USA. As well, the Company operates scheduled international routes for multiple cargo customers between the USA and Bermuda and between Canada and Poland.
Cargojet is publicly listed with shares and convertible debentures traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). TheCompany is incorporated and domiciled in Canada and the registered office is located at 350 Britannia Road East, Units 5 and 6, Mississauga, Ontario.
Prior to January 1, 2011, the operations of the Company were carried out by Cargojet Income Fund (“the Fund”). EffectiveJanuary 1, 2011, the Fund was converted from an income trust to a corporate structure whereby all unitholders of the Fund had their trust units automatically converted into common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis. The trust units and convertible debentures of the Fund were delisted from the TSX and the common voting shares and variable voting shares of the Company began trading on the TSX under the symbols “CJT” and “CJT.A”,respectively, on January 6, 2011. Convertible debentures of the Fund were converted into convertible debentures of theCompany with no changes in their rights or terms.
The conversion has been accounted for using the continuity of interest basis, recognizing the Company as the successor in interest to the Fund. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities of the Company have been recorded in Cargojet at their previous carrying amounts at the date of conversion in the Fund. On conversion, the carrying values of the Trust Units of the Fund were transferred to the common shares of the Company. As the interest in the puttable Trust Unitsof the Fund were converted into common shares of the Company, the common shares, including the conversion optionattached to the convertible debentures, have been classified as equity.
These consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) were approved and authorized for issuance by theBoard of Directors on March 4, 2013.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the Canadian Accounting Standards Board for publicly-accountable enterprises.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Cargojet CP Inc. and,Cargojet Holdings Limited Partnership (“CHLP”), and CHLPʼs wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cargojet Holdings Ltd. (“CJH”),Cargojet Airways Ltd. (“CJA”) and Cargojet Partnership (“CJP”).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basis of preparation (continued)
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the financials statements include the wholly-owned subsidiary Prince Edward Air Ltd. (“PEAL”) up to the date of dissolution of PEAL on December 22, 2011. Upon dissolution of PEAL, the assets andliabilities were rolled over to CJA, its sole shareholding company, without any effect on the financial statements of the Company.
All intra-company balances and transactions are eliminated in full upon consolidation.
Cash
Cash balance consists of cash on hand and demand deposits.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognized as an asset at the date that control is acquired (the acquisitiondate). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controllinginterests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the Companyʼs previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) overthe net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually on April 1. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Companyʼs cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the cash-generating unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amountof any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then to the other assets of the cash-generating unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the cash-generating unit. An impairment loss recognized for goodwillis not reversed in a subsequent period.
On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the gain or losson disposal.
Assets held for sale
Assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must becommitted to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from thedate of classification.
When the Company is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities ofthat subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether theCompany will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.
Assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when delivery occurs and the transportation services are complete. Revenue from overnight cargoservices is recorded based on actual volume of cargo at agreed upon rates when the cargo services have been provided.Minimum guaranteed contract revenue is billed in the event that the actual volumes do not exceed the guaranteed minimum volumes. Amounts billed include surcharges. Ad hoc revenue for non-contract customers is recorded at the time the cargo services have been provided. Revenue from ACMI cargo services is recorded when the cargo aircraft hasbeen provided exclusively to a customer at a fixed daily rate operating on a specific route that may include cost of fuel andother commercial activities.
Revenue from the lease of aircraft is billed on the basis of a contracted rate and recorded when the lease rental becomes due.
Revenue from fuelling services is billed on the basis of prevailing rates at the time of sale and recorded when the sale iscompleted.
Interest revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount ofrevenue can be measured reliably. Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstandingand at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts through theexpected life of the financial asset to that assetʼs net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Inventories
Fuel inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less costs necessary to make the sale.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includesexpenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the asset. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment. Borrowing costs related to theacquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets is capitalized to the cost of the item until the asset is ready for use.
When a significant part of an asset has a different useful life from the overall assetʼs useful life, it is identified as a separate component and depreciated accordingly.
Spare parts are treated as property, plant and equipment and depreciated on actual usage. The Company recognizes airframe heavy maintenance expenditures for owned and certain leased aircraft using the deferral method. Under the deferral method, the actual cost of each overhaul is capitalized under property, plant and equipment and amortized on astraight-line basis to the next overhaul.
CARGOJET INC.Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2012 and 2011
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Property, plant and equipment (continued)
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item ifit is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Company and can be reliably measured. The carryingamount of the replaced part is derecognized. Gains and losses on the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipmentare determined by comparing the proceeds on disposal to the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment andare recognized in income. The cost of day-to-day servicing of the property, plant and equipment is expensed as incurred in income.
Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives using thestraight-line method. The Company reviews the depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values at each reportingdate with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Asset Estimated useful life
Aircraft hull 40 – 45 years from the date of manufactureEngines Up to 8 years from the date of purchaseRotable spares 10 yearsSpare parts Actual usageGround equipment 10 yearsHangar facility 30 yearsVehicles 8 yearsComputer hardware and software 5 yearsFurniture and fixtures 10 yearsLeasehold improvements Lesser of useful life and term of leaseDeferred heavy maintenance Up to the date of the next scheduled heavy maintenance
Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Finance leasesAssets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, at amounts equal to the present valueof the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability is included inthe balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income,unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the policyon borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Leases (continued)
Finance leased assets are reported under the relevant asset categories, with recognition of a corresponding financial liability. They are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful life and the term of the agreement.
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognized as receivables at the amount of the net investment in thelease. Finance lease income is recognized so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.
Operating leasesPayments made under operating leases are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leaseagreement. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the period in which theyare incurred.
Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Arrangements containing a leaseIn compliance with IFRIC 4, Determining if an Arrangement Contains a Lease, (“IFRIC 4”) the Company identifies agreements that convey the right to use an asset or group of specific assets to the purchaser although they do not havethe legal form of a lease contract, as the purchaser in the arrangement benefits from a substantial share of the assetʼs production and payment is not dependent on production or market price. Such arrangements are treated as leases, andanalyzed with reference to IAS 17, Leases (“IAS 17”) for classification as either finance or operating leases.
Intangible assets
Definite life intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Indefinite life intangible assets, suchas licenses, have no foreseeable limit to the period over which they are expected to generate net cash inflows and are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses and are not amortized.
The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effectof any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets todetermine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists,the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Where it is notpossible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of thecash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified,corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallestgroup of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill (continued)
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current marketassessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flowshave not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in income.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increasedto the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. However, the increased carrying amount cannot exceed the carryingamount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unitin prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in income.
Foreign currencies
The functional currency of each subsidiary is Canadian dollars, which is the currency of the primary economic environmentin which each subsidiary and the Company operates. The results and financial position of each subsidiary are expressedin Canadian dollars.
Transactions in currencies other than the entityʼs functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing atthe dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies areretranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical costin a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences are recognized in income in the period in which they arise.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets thatnecessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of thoseassets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs arerecognized in income in the period in which they are incurred.
Income taxes
Current taxesThe tax currently payable is based on taxable income for the year. Taxable income differs from income as reported in thestatement of income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items thatare never taxable or deductible. The Companyʼs liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Income taxes (continued)
Deferred taxesDeferred taxes are recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable income. Deferred tax liabilitiesare generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for alldeductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which thosedeductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of otherassets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable income nor the accounting income.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent thatit is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end ofthe reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carryingamount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets againstcurrent tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intendsto settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and deferred taxes for the periodCurrent and deferred taxes are recognized as an expense or income, except when they relate to items that are recognizedoutside income (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case the tax is also recognized outside income, or where they arise from the initial accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amountof the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation atthe end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the presentvalue of those cash flows.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party,a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of thereceivable can be measured reliably.

Financial instruments
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), held tomaturity investments, available for sale (“AFS”) financial assets and loans and receivables. The classification depends onthe nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All financial liabilities are classified as either FVTPL or other financial liabilities.
The Companyʼs financial assets and financial liabilities are classified and measured as follows:
Asset/Liability Classification Measurement
Cash, trade and other receivables, finance lease Loans and receivables Amortized costreceivable, notes receivables, and deposits
Overdraft, trade and other payables, dividends Other financial liabilities Amortized costpayable, convertible debentures andborrowings
Foreign exchange forward contracts Fair value through profit or loss Fair value
Loans and receivables and other financial liabilitiesCash, trade and other receivables, finance lease receivable, notes receivable, deposits, overdraft, trade and otherpayables, dividends payable, convertible debentures and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment. Interest is recognized by applyingthe effective interest rate.
Derivative financial instrumentsDerivative financial instruments are utilized by the Company in the management of its foreign currency exposures. TheCompany's policy is not to utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at their fair values.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in income immediately.
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognized as a financial asset; a derivative with a negative fair value is recognizedas a financial liability.

Impairment of financial assetsFinancial assets, other than FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period.Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is effective evidence that as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial assets, the estimated future cash flows of the assets have beenaffected.
For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impairedindividually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment could includethe Companyʼs past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments past the averagecredit period, as well as observable changes in national or economic conditions that correlate with default on global receivables.
De-recognition of financial assets and liabilitiesDe-recognition is applied for all or part of a financial asset, when the contractual rights making up the asset expire, or theCompany substantially transfers most of the significant risks and benefits associated with ownership of the asset. De-recognition is applied for all or part of a financial liability, when the liability is extinguished due to cancellation or expiryof the obligation. When a debt is renegotiated with a lender giving rise to substantially different terms, a new liability is recognized.
The Company periodically enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in theCanadian/U.S. exchange rate on its purchase transactions denominated in U.S. dollars. These contracts require theexchange of currencies on maturity of the contracts.
Convertible debentures
The component parts of compound instruments issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilities andequity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liabilityis measured separately using an estimated market rate for a similar liability without an equity component and the residualis allocated to the conversion option. The liability component is subsequently recognized on an amortized cost basis usingthe effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrumentʼs maturity date. The equity component is recognized and included in equity, and is not subsequently re-measured. Transaction costs are dividedbetween the liability and equity components in proportion to their values.
On the early redemption or repurchase of convertible debentures, the Company allocates the consideration paid onextinguishment to the liability based on its fair value at the date of the transaction and the residual is allocated to theconversion option. Any resulting gain or loss relating to the liability element is credited or charged to income and thedifference between the carrying amount and the amount considered to be settled relating to the holder option is treated asa capital transaction.

Accounting judgments and use of estimates
In preparing the financial statements, the Companyʼs management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amount of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Although these estimates are based on managementʼs best knowledge of the current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from these estimates. Reported amounts which require management tomake significant estimates and assumptions include property, plant and equipment, goodwill, deferred taxes, provisionsand financial instruments. These items are discussed below.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment and goodwillImpairment tests on property, plant and equipment and goodwill are sensitive to the macro-economic and other assumptions used, and long-term financial forecasts. The Company therefore revises the underlying estimates andassumptions based on regularly updated information.
Deferred taxesDeferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable income againstwhich to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The Company reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period which is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
ProvisionsThe Company has estimated that it will incur certain maintenance costs at the end of the lease terms and has recorded amaintenance provision liability for these costs. Such costs have been estimated based on contractual commitments andCompany specific history. The Company reviews the provisions at each reporting period to determine the change in estimated liability.
Financial instrumentsThe issuance or repurchase of a compound instrument, such as convertible debentures, requires the Company to estimatethe debt and equity components of the instruments issued or repurchased. Estimates are also required for determining thefair values of financial instruments that are not publicly traded for disclosure purposes.
Accounting changes
Accounting standards effective for 2012
IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IAS 12, Income Taxes were amended to address disclosures with respectto the transfer of financial assets and the recovery of revalued investment properties, respectively. These amendments,which were effective January 1, 2012, had no impact on the Companyʼs financial statements.

Standards and interpretations issued not yet adopted
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year ending December 31, 2012, and accordingly, have not been applied in preparing these financial statements:
Presentation of Financial StatementsThe IASB amended IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”), providing guidance on items contained in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and their classification within OCI. The amendments to IAS 1 must be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of thisstandard to have a significant impact on the Companyʼs disclosures.
Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2009 – 2011 CycleThe Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2009 – 2011 Cycle include a number of amendments to various IFRSs that are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements clarify the requirements for providing comparative informationin financial statements. Amendments reduce the amount of information from previous reporting periods which is requiredto be repeated in the event of a change in accounting policy, reclassification or restatement by limiting the requirement topresent an additional statement of financial position to circumstances when the statement is materially affected and by clarifying that related notes to an additional statement of financial position are not required.
IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment was amended to clarify the classification requirement for servicing equipment. If spare parts and servicing equipment meet the definition of property, plant and equipment, they should be accounted foras such rather than a current asset.
IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting was amended to clarify the requirements on segment information for total assets and liabilities for each reportable segment.
The Company does not expect the adoption of these amendments to have a significant impact on the Companyʼs disclosures.
Employee BenefitsThe primary amendment to IAS 19, Employee Benefits, is the elimination of the corridor approach, with a requirement that all changes to the defined benefit obligation and planned assets to be recognized when they occur. The standard alsodoes not permit the use of an assumed expected rate of return which differs from the rate used to discount plan liabilitiesand changes the presentation for defined benefit plans.
This standard is applicable for periods commencing January 1, 2013. Retrospective application is required with certainexceptions. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position and disclosures.
Fair Value MeasurementIFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”) is a new standard that defines fair value, sets out in a single IFRS a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not determinewhen an asset, a liability or an entityʼs own equity instrument is measured at fair value. Rather, the measurement and disclosure requirements of IFRS 13 apply when another IFRS requires or permits the item to be measured at fair value(with limited exceptions). The standard is applicable commencing January 1, 2013.

Consolidation, Joint Arrangements, Associates and DisclosuresA package of five standards addressing consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”) builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of controlas the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess.
IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements establishes principles that are applicable to the accounting for all joint arrangements.
IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities provides guidance on disclosure requirements for all forms of interestsin other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities.
The Company does not expect the implementation of these standards to have a significant impact on the Companyʼsresults of operations, financial position and disclosures.
Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and Related DisclosuresAmendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, applicable for periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2014, respectively, require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements and clarify existing application issues relating to the offset offinancial assets and financial liabilities requirements. The Company does not expect the adoption of these standards tohave a significant impact on the Companyʼs disclosures.
Financial InstrumentsThe IASB has issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), which will ultimately replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments:Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities and for de-recognition.
The replacement of IAS 39 is a multi-phase project with the objective of improving and simplifying the reporting for financial instruments and the issuance of IFRS 9 is part of the first phase. This standard becomes effective on January 1, 2015. The Company has yet to assess the impact of the new standard on its results of operations, financial position and disclosures.

6. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)
In August 2012, the Company reviewed the carrying value of its used engine cores and estimated that the recoverableamount was less than the book value. The Company reduced the net book value of the used engine cores to fair value by$567,395 and reported a loss on impairment of property, plant and equipment.
In 2011, the Company sold most of its regional fleet, including the aircraft that were returned upon the termination of therelated leases. The Company reviewed the carrying value of the remaining regional aircraft and estimated that the recoverable amount was less than the book value of the aircraft. The recoverable amount was determined on a fair valueless costs to sell basis, fair value being the market value for similar aircraft. The Company reduced the net book value ofthe aircraft hull and engines to fair value by $783,698 and reported a loss on impairment of property, plant and equipment.The related deferred heavy maintenance expenditure of $409,430 was written off and recorded in loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment.
Also in 2011, the Company permanently removed one of its cargo aircraft from service. The Company used the aircraft asa source for spare parts to maintain its existing fleet of aircraft. Accordingly, the Company reviewed the carrying value ofthis aircraft at December 31, 2011 and estimated that the recoverable value of the aircraft was less than the book value.The recoverable amount was determined on a fair value less costs to sell basis, fair value being the market value forsimilar spare parts. The Company reduced the net book value of this aircraft to fair value by $980,587 at December 31,2011 and reported a loss on impairment of property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled$9,827,694, and $9,067,742, respectively.
Assets held for sale
In 2011, an aircraft was approved for disposal and was presented as held for sale at an estimated fair value of $45,000with the related deferred tax asset of $3,567.
7. GOODWILL
For purposes of testing goodwill impairment, the Company reports its results as a single cash-generating unit. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually on April 1, or more frequently when there is an indication of potential impairment. The recoverable amount is determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections based on historical results and using a steady 2.0% per annum growth rate (2011 - 1.5%), which has been estimated based on long-term growth rates in cash flow of the Company, and a pre-tax discount rate of approximately 16.1% per annum(2011 - 16.5%). The Company believes that any reasonably possible change in key assumptions on which recoverableamounts are based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of thecash-generating unit.

11. PROVISIONS
The Companyʼs aircraft operating lease agreements require leased aircraft to be returned to the lessor in a specified operating condition. As a result of changes in the Companyʼs c-check intervals for certain aircraft from 18 months to 24months, the Company has estimated that it will incur certain maintenance costs at the end of the lease terms and has recorded a maintenance provision liability for these costs. The change in the carrying amount of the provisions is as follows:
$Balance, January 1, 2012 -Recognition of provision for lease return conditions 1,476,973Accretion 49,141Effects of exchange rate changes on the provisions balance 17,670
Balance, December 31, 2012 1,543,784
The provision for lease return conditions represents the present value of managementʼs best estimate of the future outflowof economic benefits that will be required to settle the obligation at the end of the leases. Such costs have been estimated based on contractual commitments and Company specific history. Accretion expense of $49,141 has beenrecorded in the period as part of finance costs in the consolidated statement of income. The provision has been added tothe cost of deferred heavy maintenance included in property, plant and equipment and will be amortized over the remaining terms of the leases.
12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
Convertible Debentures – 6.5% due April 30, 2017
In March 2012, $28,750,000 of unsecured subordinated convertible debentures were issued with a term of five years. These debentures bear a fixed interest rate of 6.5% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 30 and October 31 of each year, commencing April 30, 2012.
On or after April 30, 2015, but prior to April 30, 2016, the debentures are redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from timeto time, at the option of the Company at a price equal to at least $1,000 per debenture plus accrued and unpaidinterest, provided that the current market price of the common shares of the Company on the date on which the notice ofredemption is given is at least 125% of the conversion price of $11.75 per common share. After April 30, 2016, but prior to thematurity date of April 30, 2017, the debentures are redeemable at a price equal to $1,000 per debenture plus accrued andunpaid interest. On redemption or at maturity on April 30, 2017, the Company has the option to repay the debentures in eithercash or freely tradable voting shares of the Company. The number of common shares to be issued will be determined by dividingthe aggregate amount of the principal amount of the debentures by 95% of the current market price of the common shares.

Convertible Debentures – 6.5% due April 30, 2017 (continued)
Based on certain conditions, the debentures are convertible, at the holders ̓discretion, at $11.75 per voting share at any timeprior to the close of business on the earliest of the business day immediately preceding the maturity date; if called for redemption, on the business day immediately preceding the date specified by the Company for redemption of the debentures;or if called for repurchase pursuant to a change of control, on the business day immediately preceding the payment date. The Company also has the right at any time to purchase debentures in the market, by tender or by private contract subject to regulatory requirements, provided, however, that if an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company or anyof its affiliates will not have the right to purchase the debentures by private contract. The conversion rate of $11.75 per votingshare is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including the payment of a cash dividend or distribution to holders of voting shares in excess of $0.142 per quarter ($0.568 per annum).
In the event of a change in control, as defined in the indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer to the holdersof debentures to repurchase the debentures at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.In addition, if a change in control occurs in which 10% or more of the consideration consists of cash, certain equity securitiesor other property not traded or intended to be traded immediately following such transaction on a recognized exchange, holders of the debentures will be entitled to convert their debentures and, subject to certain limitations, receive an additionalamount of voting shares to those that they would otherwise be entitled at the normal conversion rate. The amount of such additional voting shares will depend on the effective date and the price paid per voting share in the transaction constituting the change in control.
The principal amount of the debentures has been allocated between its debt component and the conversion option and hasbeen classified separately on the balance sheet. The fair value of the debt component was determined using an estimated market rate for a similar liability without an equity component and the residual was allocated to the conversion option.
The debt component is measured at amortized cost. The balance of the debt component at December 31, 2012 consisted of the following:

16. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
The Companyʼs long-term incentive plan (the “Plan” or “LTIP”) provides certain of its executive officers and senior management of the Company with compensation opportunities tied to the performance of the Company. Company incentive bonuses, in the form of shares, are provided to eligible employees on an annual basis where the earnings of theCompany exceed a pre-determined base (the “Base Target”). The Base Target is set annually by the CompensationCommittee of the Companyʼs Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
If the Companyʼs earnings exceed the Base Target, a percentage of the excess is contributed by the Company into a long-term incentive pool. Shares are then purchased on the open market by the Company and held by the Company untilthey vest. Vesting of the shares will occur on the basis of one-third of the total grant at the time of granting, and one-thirdon each of the first and second anniversary dates.
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 share-based compensation expense totaled $402,932 and $497,144,respectively, including withholding taxes of $52,313 and $99,675, respectively, paid on behalf of the eligible employees.

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risk management policies
Through its financial assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to various risks. The following analysis provides anoverview of these risks as well as a measurement of these risks as at December 31, 2012.
Fair values
The fair value of the convertible debentures, based on quoted market prices as at December 31, 2012, was approximately$29,612,500 (December 31, 2011 – $24,901,550). The fair value of the long-term debt based on an estimate of marketinterest rates as at December 31, 2012 and 2011, was approximately equal to its carrying value. The fair values of thenotes receivables and finance lease receivable as at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were approximately equal to their carrying values. The fair values of all other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values given the short-term nature of these items.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the balance sheet are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects thesignificance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) observed in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs that are quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets; inputs otherthan quoted prices used in a valuation model that are observable for that instrument; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 - valuation techniques with significant unobservable market inputs.

Fair values (continued)
The Company does not have any Level 3 fair value measurements and thus no continuity schedule has been presented.In addition, there have been no significant transfers between levels.
There are no assets and liabilities recorded at fair value as at December 31, 2012. Total assets and liabilities recorded atfair value as at December 31, 2011 are as follows:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
$ $ $ $AssetsAssets held for sale - 45,000 - 45,000
Credit risk
The Companyʼs principal financial assets that expose it to credit risk are accounts receivable, notes receivable, financelease receivable and foreign exchange derivative contracts.
The Company is subject to risk of non-payment of accounts receivable, finance lease receivable and notes receivable. The amounts disclosed in the balance sheet represent the maximum credit risk and are net of allowances for bad debts,based on management estimates taking into account the Companyʼs prior experience and its assessment of the current economic environment. The Companyʼs receivables are concentrated among several of its largest customers with approximately 52% (December 31, 2011 – 69%) of total receivables on account of the Companyʼs ten largest customers.However, the Company believes that the credit risk associated with these receivables is limited for the following reasons:
(a) Only a small portion (0.5%) of trade receivables is outstanding for more than sixty days and is considered past due.The Company considers all of these amounts to be fully collectible. Trade receivables that are not past due are also considered by the Company to be fully collectible. Consistent with its past collection history, the Company has not recognized any significant provisions for bad debts.
(b) The Company mitigates credit risk by monitoring the creditworthiness of its customers.
(c) A majority of the Companyʼs major customers are large public corporations with positive credit ratings and history.
The notes receivable due from Skylink Express are secured by a first charge on Skylink Express aircraft.
The finance lease receivable is secured by the leased aircraft.
Liquidity risk
The Company monitors and manages its liquidity risk to ensure it has access to sufficient funds to meet operational andinvesting requirements. Management of the Company believes that future cash flows from operations, the availability ofcredit under existing bank arrangements, and current debt market financing is adequate to support the Companyʼs financial liquidity needs. Available sources of liquidity include a revolving credit facility with a Canadian chartered bank. The available facility is to a maximum of $25.0 million.

Foreign exchange risk
The Company earns revenue and undertakes purchase transactions in foreign currencies, and therefore is subject to gainsand losses due to fluctuations in the foreign currencies. The Company sometimes manages its exposure to changes in the Canadian/U.S. exchange rate on anticipated purchases by buying forward U.S. dollars at fixed rates in future periods.
As at December 31, 2012, the Company entered into U.S. dollar forward sale contracts maturing on January 31, 2013 forUSD $1,000,000. As at December 31, 2012, these contracts had a positive fair value of $1,831 which was recorded as anasset in trade and other receivables.
On January 1, 2010, the Company discontinued hedge accounting and recognized the deferred loss on the outstandingforeign exchange contracts as at January 1, 2010 over the period to October 2011 in the same periods in which the hedgedanticipated transactions would affect net income. During the year ended December 31, 2012, $nil and for the year endedDecember 31, 2011, a loss of $144,274 (net of taxes of $71,210) was recognized and transferred from other comprehensiveincome to net income.
In August and October of 2010, the Company entered into a series of U.S. dollar forward purchase contracts maturing on a monthly basis from September 2010 to December 2011 for an aggregate total of USD $23.5 million. In 2011, theCompany sold all of its outstanding U.S. dollars forward purchase contracts. A pre-tax gain of $212,450 was realized fromthe sale of these contracts.

Foreign exchange risk (continued)
Total other foreign exchange gains during the year ended December 31, 2012 were $121,262 (2011 – loss of $594,197).
Commodity risk
The Company is exposed to commodity risk for fluctuations in fuel costs to the extent that it cannot pass price increase onto its customers. The Company does not use derivative instruments to mitigate this risk.
Market risk
In the normal course of business, the financial position of the Company is routinely subject to a variety of risks. In additionto the market risk associated with interest rate and currency movements on outstanding debt and non-Canadian dollardenominated assets and liabilities, other examples of risk include collectability of accounts receivable.
The Company regularly assesses these risks and has established policies and business practices to protect against theadverse effects of these and other potential exposures. As a result, the Company does not anticipate any material lossesfrom these risks.
To meet disclosure requirements, the Company performs a sensitivity analysis to determine the effects that market riskexposures may have on the fair value of the Companyʼs debt and other financial instruments. The financial instrumentsthat are included in the sensitivity analysis comprise all of the Companyʼs cash, borrowings, convertible debentures and all derivative financial instruments. To perform the sensitivity analysis, the Company assesses the risk of loss in fair values from the effect of hypothetical changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates on market-sensitiveinstruments.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, movements in interest rates would not have any significant impact on the fair value ofthe Companyʼs financial assets and liabilities.
At December 31, 2012, a weakening of the Canadian dollar that results in a 10 percent decrease in the exchange rate forthe purchase of US dollars would increase the value of the Companyʼs other net financial assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars by approximately $0.1 million (2011 - $0.1 million). An increase in the exchange rate for the purchase of US dollars of 10 percent would decrease the value of these net financial assets and liabilities by the sameamount (2011 - $0.1 million).
At December 31, 2012, a weakening of the Canadian dollar that results in a 10 percent decrease in the exchange rate forthe purchase of EURO would increase the value of the Companyʼs other net financial assets and liabilities denominated in EURO by approximately $0.1 million (2011 - $nil). An increase in the exchange rate for the purchase of EURO of 10 percent would decrease the value of these net financial assets and liabilities by the same amount (2011 - $nil).

22. GUARANTEES
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that meet the definition of a guarantee. TheCompanyʼs primary guarantees are as follows:
(a) The Company has provided indemnities under lease agreements for the use of various operating facilities and leasedaircraft. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify the counterparties for various itemsincluding, but not limited to, all liabilities, loss, suits and damages arising during, on or after the term of the agreement. The maximum amount of any potential future payment cannot be reasonably estimated.
(b) Indemnity has been provided to all directors and officers of the Company for various items including, but not limited to,all costs to settle suits or actions due to association with the Company, subject to certain restrictions. The Company has purchased directorsʼ and officersʼ liability insurance to mitigate the cost of any potential future suits or actions. The term of the indemnification is not explicitly defined, but is limited to the period over which the indemnified party served as a director or officer of the Company. The maximum amount of any potential future payment cannot be reasonably estimated.
(c) In the normal course of business, the Company has entered into agreements that include indemnities in favor of thirdparties, such as purchase and sale agreements, confidentiality agreements, engagement letters with advisors and consultants, outsourcing agreements, leasing contracts, information technology agreements and service agreements.These indemnification agreements may require the Company to compensate counterparties for losses incurred by thecounterparties as a result of breaches in representation and regulations or as a result of litigation claims or statutory sanctions that may be suffered by the counterparty as a consequence of the transaction. The terms of these indemnitiesare not explicitly defined and the maximum amount of any potential reimbursement cannot be reasonably estimated.
The nature of these indemnification agreements prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum exposure due to the difficulties in assessing the amount of liability which stems from the unpredictability of futureevents and the unlimited coverage offered to counterparties. Historically, the Company has not made any payments undersuch or similar indemnification agreements and therefore no amount has been accrued in the balance sheet with respectto these agreements.
